Welcome to HAT-P-20 b, a sizzling-hot giant planet orbiting the star HAT-P-20 far beyond our solar system! Discovered in 2010 by the clever eyes of ground-based telescopes using the transit method, this exoplanet is known for its close dance with its star, making it a scorcher in space. Imagine a world where days are blisteringly hot and nights barely cool down—it's like a cosmic oven! Thanks to a 2K CCD sensor that spotted it dipping in and out of view, we’ve uncovered this fascinating world in the constellation where the HATNet survey scans the skies. Though light-years away, HAT-P-20 b invites curious travelers to dream about worlds wildly different from our own.
